How to turn on an iPhone<\/span><\/h2>\n

Over the years, turning on an iPhone has become so different. We started off with the home buttons, lock buttons and now phones don\u2019t even have home buttons! On the more recent iPhones, the ones without home buttons, you\u2019ll have to hold down the lock button to power it on. Hold this down until the phone vibrates and the Apple logo appears on screen. The phone will power on in a matter of seconds. You can use this method to turn the phone off as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On older iPhones, you can turn the phone on with this method however, there is a different method to turn it off. To turn it off, you will need to press and hold the lock button and home button together. The phone will vibrate and the Apple logo will appear on screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Using Quick Start<\/span><\/h2>\n

Quick Start has made setting up a new iPhone ten times easier than it has ever been. Using this, all you need to do is scan your old iPhone to set up! You will need iOS 11 or later in order to use this. That does mean that older iPhone\u2019s won\u2019t have this feature. If your iPhone doesn\u2019t have this feature, you will have to select \u2018Set Up Manually\u2019. If it does have this feature, you\u2019ll need your old phone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To use Quick Start, all you need to do is bring the two iPhones near each other. They will automatically connect and you\u2019ll have some instructions appear on screen. These will talk you through how to set up a new iPhone using Quick Start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to set up a new iPhone<\/span><\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve chosen the language for your new iPhone but can\u2019t use Quick Start, you\u2019ll need to connect to the wifi. This allows your new iPhone to update to the latest operating system so that it works effortlessly. Sometimes, you will need to insert the SIM before doing this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your new iPhone supports Face ID, you will be asked to set this up. If you don\u2019t want this feature, just tap \u2018Set Up Later\u2019. If you do want to set this up, you\u2019ll need to follow the on screen commands. You\u2019ll then be taken to set up a passcode. We highly recommend setting this up right away as it prevents anyone gaining access to your phone should it be lost or stolen.<\/span><\/p>\n

From there, you\u2019ll be able to restore old settings using iTunes or iCloud. This will only work if you previously had an iPhone. If you\u2019re moving from an Android device, you will need to click \u2018Move Data from Android\u2019. From there, you\u2019ll get on screen instructions as to how you can move your data over. Follow these to complete the set up.<\/span><\/p>\n

The last few steps to setting up a new iPhone include enabling automatic updates, setting up a number of Apple features, such as Siri, choosing the display options and signing into your Apple ID account.<\/span><\/p>\n
